Charlène and Axel

Hi, my name is Axel FISCHER. Here I am going to introduce myself, to talk  about my hobbies and my studies so you can know me better.
Well, I was born the 10th of January, 1987 in Nancy, France. A good article  on my city Nancy is available on this blog = > "here".
What else can I say, I am 20 years-old and I study Law in the University of  Nancy . My girlfriend studies law in the same university. I have two sisters Lou (17 y) and Chloe (11 y). Here is to summarize my family life!

Concerning me, I am very dynamic and athletic. I go jogging 3 or 4 times a week for more than 45 minutes. In general, I love sports. Furthermore I like going to the cinema, and travelling (Spain, Scotland, England, Tunisia, Germany...).
Why did I choose to leave in Canada? Simply because I would like to master English, to make my studies in the future easier. Indeed, I plan to turn henceforth to studies of business.
I think this is what I could say about me in a few lines!
For more detail, don't hesitate to ask me in "commentaire" or by mail : flashball007@msn.com .
Bye

Nancy is a city and commune in the Lorraine region of northeastern France.

The city is the prefecture (capital) of the Meurthe-et-Moselle department. The metropolitan area of Nancy had a population of 410,509 inhabitants at the 1999 census, 103,602 of whom lived in the city of Nancy proper (105,100 inhabitants in the city proper as of 2004 estimates).

The earliest signs of human settlement in the area date back to 800 BC. Early settlers were likely attracted by easily mined iron ore and a ford in the Meurthe River. A small fortified town named Nanciacum (Nancy) was built by Duke Gérard around 1050.

Nancy was sacked by Emperor Frederick II in the 13th century, then rebuilt in stone over the next few centuries as it grew in importance as the capital of the Duchy of Lorraine. Charles the Bold, Duke of Burgundy, was defeated and killed in the Battle of Nancy in 1477.

With the death of Duke Stanislas in 1766, the duchy became a French province and Nancy remained its capital. When the région of Lorraine was created in the middle of the 20th century, Metz was chosen as its capital instead of Nancy.

As unrest surfaced within the French armed forces during the French Revolution, a full-scale mutiny took place in Nancy in later summer 1790. A few reliable units lay siege to the town and shot or imprisoned the mutineers.

Nancy was captured from Nazi Germany by the U.S. Third Army in September of 1944, during the Lorraine Campaign of World War II.

The Place Stanislas named after the Polish king and duke of Lorraine Stanislaw Leszczynski, Place de la Carrière, and Place d'Alliance were added on the World Heritage Sites list by the UNESCO in 1983. ( See The  place  Stanislas  - 360° view-)

The "École de Nancy", a group of artists and architects founded by the glassmaster and furniture maker Émile Gallé, worked in the Art Nouveau style at the end of the 19th century and the early 20th century. It was principally their work which made Nancy a centre of art and architecture that rivaled Paris and helped give the city the nickname "Capitale de l'Est." The city still possesses many Art Nouveau buildings (mostly banks or private homes). Furniture, glassware, and other pieces of the decorative arts are conserved at the Musée de l'École de Nancy, which is housed in the 1909 villa of Eugène Corbin, a Nancy businessman and supporter of the Art Nouveau there.

The old city centre's heritage dates from the Middle Ages to the 18th century. The cathedral of Nancy is a fine example of 18th century architecture. The surroundings of the train station are a busy commercial area.

There is also a botanical garden in Nancy, "Le Jardin Botanique". There have many different types of plants, including tropical, and many other wonderful types of plants and flowers.

There is also the aquarium and various other public gardens and places of interest including the Pépinière and Parc Sainte-Marie (public gardens); the Musée de l'École de Nancy, the Musée des Beaux-Arts and the Musée Lorrain amongst others.
